Lymphoma Awareness Month

National Lymphoma Awareness Month, has commemorated each September to help raise public attention to this type of blood cancer. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system. Lymphoma is not a single cancer but a group of many related cancers. In fact, there are nearly 30 different types of lymphoma. Broadly, they are grouped unter two categories: Hodgkin Disease and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. these two broad groups may be similar in their symptoms and the tests that are required, but they behave differnetly with each affected person.

A common indicator of lymphedema is indentations that do not immediately disappear after the skin has been depressed by the hand or fingers. This condition is usually found in the legs and arms; however, lymphedema can affect any region of the body.
